jQuery 1.6.2 Released

jQuery 1.6.2 Released

jQuery 1.6.2 is now out! This is the second minor release on top of jQuery 1.6 and lands a number of fixes for bugs.

As usual, we provide two copies of jQuery, one minified and one uncompressed (for debugging or reading).

You can feel free to include the above URLs directly into your site and you will get the full performance benefits of a quickly-loading jQuery.

You can help us by dropping that code into your existing application and letting us know that if anything no longer works. Please file a bug and be sure to mention that you’re testing against jQuery 1.6.2.

We want to encourage everyone from the community to try and get involved in contributing back to jQuery core. We’ve set up a full page of information dedicated towards becoming more involved with the team. The team is here and ready to help you help us!

Registration Open for jQuery Conference in Boston!

Posted on by

Hey everyone!

We recently announced the dates for our next jQuery Conference—October 1st and 2nd in Boston, MA—and we’re finally ready to open registration! Here are some top level bullet points for you:

  • 2 days of jam-packed content from the jQuery Core Team and top community members, covering everything from jQuery basics and advanced techniques, to jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile, and more
  • A new limited-run jQuery tshirt and other jQuery swag
  • A fabulous Boston after party, hosted by our friends over at MediaTemple with free booze, snacks, great company and more
  • Other sweet after-hours events, announcements coming soon

Back by popular demand, we’ve also got a full day of Beginner jQuery Training for the new folks on your team, generously provided by our friends over at Bocoup. We’ll likely be adding additional topical and/or advanced training sessions, so keep an eye here and on Twitter for announcements and updates on that.

New for this year: For the first time ever, we’ve really got an official jQuery Conference Hotel. We’ve had suggested multiple hotels in the past, but this year we’ve secured a fantastic block at the conference venue, arranged for the Core Team and speakers to stay there, and have also thrown in some hotel-guest-only perks, like priority registration and swag distribution. We’ll also be organizing some on-site evening gatherings at the hotel, and hotel guests will receive priority registration for any of those as well.

The room block we secured last year—which didn’t have these extra perks—sold out well before the conference, so make sure you book your room ASAP, and make sure it’s part of our specific room block.

The Call for Papers is still open, so if you haven’t submitted your talk yet, definitely get on that.  Speakers receive access to a fantastic speaker thank you dinner, free accommodations at the conference hotel, and if budget allows it, additional TBD renumeration.

That’s it for now; we’ll have more announcements soon as we roll out the speaking roster, announce more party details and finalize all the other conference-related goodness.

jQuery Conference 2011: Boston Conference Dates

Posted on by

We are very happy to announce the dates and venue for the 2011 Boston jQuery Conference. We will hold our annual Boston Conference on October 1—2, 2011, at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, MA.

Call for Speakers

We are officially opening a call for speakers. If you would like to speak at the conference on topics such as jQuery, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, or general front-end development, please submit your talk proposal to us by July 15th. Speakers will be notified, confirmed, and announced within a week after the deadline.

Registration

We will be opening registration soon. You can fill out the form on the events home page and be notified the instant tickets are available.

Hotel

We have worked with the Royal Sonesta Hotel and have a huge block of rooms reserved for the conference. The Royal Sonesta is providing a discounted room rate of $273.53/night (includes tax). If you make your reservation over the phone, please let them know that you are staying for the jQuery Conference to get the discount. You can also reserve your room online. Please use the coded website link on the hotel page of the event site to ensure you get the discounted rate.

More information

If you or your company are interested in sponsoring this event, please contact us to find out more information.

We’re aware that, unfortunately, this year’s Boston conference overlaps JSConf.eu. We considered a number of dates, but had to settle on the 1st and 2nd. We are truly sorry if this presents a conflict for you and hope you can enjoy a weekend of JavaScript on either side of the Atlantic.
